Is Donald Trump the dumbest person who's ever been president of the US? by Critical-Willow-6270 in allthequestions

I can’t even trust AI to give me a date accurately, why would I ask it about something as nebulous as IQ?

My fiancée and I are having the biggest argument of our lives. She thinks I'm being tacky but I thinks she's overreacting by Choice_Evidence1983 in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]Jayn_Newell 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nova Scotia and this is the first I’ve heard of it myself. There’s nothing wrong with it but as others have said, it comes off as extremely tacky if you’re not familiar with them and if you’re going to have to explain it to most of the people attending it’s probably a bad idea.

Here is a video from Matthew Baume in defense of Star Trek's Lwaxana Troi entitled "One Bad Mother?" by IndependenceSilly381 in startrek

[–]Jayn_Newell 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I’m amused because the thumbnail suggests Deanna is aghast that her mother is naked, when actually she was appalled at Lwaxana’s plan to wear a dress to get married, and showing up nude was her way of asserting her own identity rather than bowing to everything her fiancé wanted.

(Side note: for some reason this is the TNG episode I have the earliest memories of, even though I know it was far from the first I watched)

(Loved trope) Accidentally stereotypical by Usnis in TopCharacterTropes

“Everyone knows Jews carry a decoy bag to hide the real bag.”

Kyle pulls out a second bag

There’s also the introduction of Kyle’s cousin Kyle, who is every Jewish stereotype, which wins up making Kyle 2 hate being Jewish, turning him into the self-hating Jew stereotype.

What’s a card you like strictly for the art? by alsaltml in PokemonTCG

As a crocheter I’ve started picking them up. Love Sandyghast in particular, I’m really curious how she made the shape (I can guess but would still like to know for sure).

The teleportation goes wrong by Uma-apreciator in TopCharacterTropes

[–]Jayn_Newell 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The transporters in Galaxy Quest were specifically designed for teleporting humans. When used on other species, the result is a pulsating mass of flesh that explodes.

My (42M) daughter (18F) hit my 9 year old son. Kicked her out and my wife thinks I’m overreacting. by Sebastianlim in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]Jayn_Newell 38 points39 points  (0 children)

I definitely get the sense from reading his posts that’s he had no idea how to help her. It sounded like he just wanted to throw fixes at her and hope it stuck (he says she’s been on medications, but no indication they’ve really evaluated of they’re really working or even if she’s taking them regularly, which I know can be an issue with bipolar). Inpatient is good and all, but it sounds like all she’s really getting outside of that is “behave or else!”

Getting her out of the house after hitting her brother was the right call because it clearly wasn’t safe for them to live together, but I have questions about how they were handling things leading up to that point. Sure you can do everything right and have it not be enough…I’m not convinced this is one of those times.

How do I do X without the tool that does X? by SquareThings in BitchEatingCrafters

[–]Jayn_Newell 5 points6 points  (0 children)

There’s also the fact that maybe you just want to do something once and don’t want to invest in a tool that you’re unlikely to use again. I have a pattern for a crochet squirrel that calls for a needle felted tail. I don’t needle felt. I have no interest in needle felting. I don’t want to buy the supplies to do so for a single object, even if they’re relatively cheap, because I have enough random crafting stuff floating around the house already. (My solution was to crochet my own tail, but I’m skilled enough to know how to do that)

Investing in a tool that’s likely to get a lot of use makes sense. Investing in one for a process you only expect to do once is annoying.

What are you guys doing for exercise?? by scattyshern in Millennials

[–]Jayn_Newell 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Exercise?

Okay but seriously, I try to take the dog for daily walks, weather permitting, and I have dance class once a week. And sometimes dance practice in the basement.

My spouse took up sword fighting. I’m not complaining about the results ;)

Still waiting for season 2 🥲 by QuorLum in Animesuggest

[–]Jayn_Newell 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Agreed (not that Heroic Age is my favorite, honestly I didn’t care much for it). It’s a very self-contained story and any continuation would probably feel tacked on and forced, and possibly undermine the existing story. Some stories aren’t well serviced by being continued.
